Math Problem Statement

If f(x)=x+3‾‾‾‾‾√ and g(x)=3x, find g(f(y)).

Solution

Given the functions f(x)=x+3f(x) = \sqrt{x+3} and g(x)=3xg(x) = 3x, we want to find g(f(y))g(f(y)).

Step 1: Substitute f(y)f(y) into g(x)g(x).

We know that f(y)=y+3f(y) = \sqrt{y+3}.

So, g(f(y))=g(y+3)g(f(y)) = g(\sqrt{y+3}).

Step 2: Apply the function g(x)g(x).

The function g(x)g(x) is defined as g(x)=3xg(x) = 3x.

Therefore, g(y+3)=3×y+3g(\sqrt{y+3}) = 3 \times \sqrt{y+3}.

Final Answer:

g(f(y))=3y+3g(f(y)) = 3\sqrt{y+3}

Would you like more details on any specific part of this process? Here are some related questions you might consider:

  1. How do you find f(g(y))f(g(y)) if g(x)=3xg(x) = 3x and f(x)=x+3f(x) = \sqrt{x+3}?
  2. What is the domain of g(f(y))g(f(y))?
  3. How does the composition of functions work in general?
  4. What happens if f(x)=x2+3f(x) = x^2 + 3 instead of x+3\sqrt{x+3}?
  5. How would you find the inverse of g(f(y))g(f(y))?

Tip: When dealing with composition of functions, always evaluate the inner function first before applying the outer function.
